Funny, because over the last three years, Lester has been essentially the same pitcher as CC. Even with Lester's down year last year, ERA + 140 to 139 favoring CC. Also, Burnett didn't pitch 200 innings neither last year nor the year before. So how is he now a certainty to throw 200 innings? I know this is really difficult for you, but how about some objectivity?

So? They can sign a cheap guy with little to no impact on the cap, like Jonny Gomes et al.

Apple,meet orange.

The problem is that a decent one is a must. And the Bears' O-Line is so bad , that if they played Notre Dame tomorrow, Cutler would get sacked five times.
-
They did change the medical and strength and conditioning team though. Maybe it's not going to be a clusterf*** for once. One can only hope.
-
Cutler would probably look a lot better if his O-Line wasn't so bad though.
-
They have to sign someone unless it's a minor procedure.

Now they need to sign an OF. Fantastic.

Wasn't Thome also an above-average 3B in the Minors and at the start of his career in the Majors?
-
Nothing, because that's exactly the salary he was projected to receive.

So is he or isn't he good enough to start next year? Because that's his ETA.
-
I didn't say starting pitching because i meant pitching in general. The Yankees have a deeper starting staff (5 legitimate starters) even though the top three favors the Red Sox. However, the BP's are not even close. The Yankees had (considering their home park) a top-three relief corps in the MLB.
-
I'm surprised. By the amount of hype he gets, it sure sounded like Bunuelos was a sure bet to join the Yankees next year. Maybe he's not as good as you Yankee fans pimp him out to be?
-
-
I'm talking specifically about pitching: Wilson, Darvish, Buehrle.

-
The problem is that, right now, Yankee pitching is head and shoulders above Red Sox pitching on paper. That being said, we could catch lightning in a bottle with a couple of our "depth" signings. The way Murphy's Law has been f***ing the Red Sox over the last couple of years, they're bound to catch a break.
-
-
Then why haven't they traded him yet? Bunuelos' upside is high enough for the Yankees to take a chance on him as a starter. And even if the Yankees were to sign one of Cain-Hamels-Greinke-Marcum, that would leave the coast clear for the Sox to pick up a pitcher anyway.
-
CC-Pineda-Nova-Bunuelos-Hughes. And several arms in the minors, as well as Burnett still on the MLB roster. Why would they invest on a massive contract for a starter when they have a bunch of pitchers waiting in the wings?
